never tried it, herd it good for anything that does not get abused by gavel or anything. like doing it on the tank is a bad idea cuz ur alway rubing on it and u always drop gaz on it...just think about it, if you can peel it away it's gonna be prety fragile.

My buddy at work has had it on the rims of his truck for like 6 months and they still look good. But that's what I was thinking just wondered if anyone has tried yet

Plastic dip in the spray can should peel off like a wrap, my dude did his wheels and it came right off in 1 piece with his mint unsanded wheels under it. You sure it was the spray can?

The only time plastidip will not peel off if is too little number of coats are applied. The thickness of the final product will aid in it staying in one piece to peel off. I did the wheels on my x runner and peeled the plastidip off 5 min before selling the truck. Just don't do areas that have a lot of rubbin or any friction really

i did my swingarm cause i didnt feel like taking it off and having it powdercoated....held up great till i accidently scraped it putting my rear stand on the spools...all good though shit cost me $5 and matched my stock flat black frame color perfectly. and yes if you do enough even coats it will peel off perfectly its when you dont spray enough on that causes it to stick and be a pain to take off
